Activity Forums DaVinci Resolve browse not seeing silent clips

  • browse not seeing silent clips

    Posted by Michael Stirling on December 6, 2010 at 12:09 pm

    hi,

    I am trying load a folder of clips that have been given that were media managed in FCP (1080p PRes 422) and the browse will only see some of the clips.

    the clips Resolve can see have video and audio, the ones it can’t are silent and all have -v suffix to the file name.

    Any thoughts of what is happening and how to solve it other than asking the editor to do it again?

    thanks

    mike

    They have -v at the end because they were created by the media manager function in FCP, right?

    The last time I used that function, I had to individually add the .mov extension to each of those clips in the finder, which I guess the media manager does not do. Once I did that, Resolve recognized them all.

    There’s probably a clever way to use automator or such to add the extension, but it wasn’t immediately apparent to me.

    Automator could do the job quite fast. I don’t know the exact file name, but here’s what I’d do..

    EDIT!! I just remembered that if you select FOLDER instead of FILES in the first part of the workflow/app made with Automator, you can select a folder instead of each individual file with the “-v” in it. Makes it even easier to use!

    Good solution, but if you replace the -v in the filename, you wouldn’t be able to reconnect in FCP to Resolve-rendered media based on original filenames. Perhaps this?:

    Of course. I just didn’t understand what all the fuzz was about since I’ve never had this problem myself, but I see you got my idea. 🙂

    Good luck and happy automating.
